The Police Log is a digest of reports filed by the Warwick Police Department.

LIFTED LAPTOP

Officer John Zaborski responded to the 7-Eleven store at 2080 Warwick Ave. at approximately 8:29 p.m. on June 6 for the report of a larceny. Zaborski spoke with the reporting party, who said between approximately 12 a.m. and 3 p.m. her Macbook Pro laptop was removed from her vehicle without her knowledge. She advised that she would be able to get the serial number for Zaborski to enter into NCIC. Zaborski said there were no cameras in front of the 7-Eleven and the woman is not sure exactly what time the laptop was taken. She said she was not sure if she locked her vehicle before entering work, however there was no sign of forced entry. The case was forwarded to detectives for further review.

MISSING BATTERIES

Officer Javier Cabreja was dispatched to Arlington RV at 966 Quaker Lane at approximately 6:10 a.m. on June 6 for the report of stolen batteries. Cabreja met with the reporting party, who said he opened the gate at approximately 6 a.m. and noticed outside of the gate were four batteries and two sets of battery cables on the ground. He said he further checked the premises and noticed an entire bin was opened and it was left empty. He told Cabreja in that particular bin were several batteries, however he was unable to verify how many were actually stolen. He said he knew for sure that two batteries taken were valued at $200 per battery. He said he was awaiting surveillance from his manager and inventory clerk to check the premises to see exactly how many batteries were stolen. The man said the incident may have happened sometime between the time they closed at 5 p.m. and early the next morning. There were no suspects.

VANDALISM

Officer Brian Murray was dispatched to Whethersfield Commons on June 6 for the report of a vehicle at the location being vandalized. Murray met with the property manager, who said around 1 a.m. a resident reported a potential break at the clubhouse. She said this resident had witnessed suspects pull on the door to the clubhouse and then run. The witness was unable to supply a description of the suspects. Murray said officers were unable to locate any suspects. Later that morning around 8:30, Murray said a resident noticed one of the company trucks had been spray painted with white spray paint. Murray said he witnessed the writing, “[expletive] you,” spray-painted on the driver side of the vehicle. He said the front driver side tire had also been spray-painted with the white paint. A white spray-paint can had been taken from the truck and is believed to be the can that was used. Murray said the top to the can had been left on scene. He said another officer responded to the scene and took photos of the vehicle while he seized the top the spray-paint can. Shortly after the call, Murray said a fellow officer took a report of a fence being spray-painted with white spray paint at Coast Way Community Bank headquarters just down the street from Murray’s location. It was reported that a white spray paint can had been left on scene at the bank.

THE BEAST

Officer Matthew Moretti responded to the Oakland Beach Skate Park at 240 Oakland Beach Ave. at 8:18 a.m. on June 6 for a report of malicious damage. Moretti said he received a report from a member of the Oakland Beach Crime Watch that there was damage done to the rules and regulations sign at the skate park. Upon arrival, Moretti said he observed black spray paint on the sign and it had the numbers “666” on it. He said photographs were taken and put into the report.

SMASHED STATUES

Officer Matthew Smith was dispatched to Hollis Avenue at approximately 1:35 a.m. on June 7 for the report of a malicious damage in progress. While en-route, dispatch advised the suspect vehicle was a white Ford Explorer containing approximately four juveniles. Smith said he and another officer cleared a previous call in the area of West Shore Road and Harvard Avenue and did not observe any vehicles matching the description prior to their arrival. He said another officer that arrived on scene having previously been in the area of West Shore Road and Sandy Lane also had not observed any vehicles matching the description prior to his arrival. While on scene, Smith said he met with a man that lives across the street, who said he heard a loud bang outside of his residence and observed a late ’90s model, white Ford Explorer containing approximately four juvenile white males. He said he observed two of the subjects grab a statue from his neighbor’s front yard and smash it against the wishing well display. Smith said the other officers continued to search the surrounding area for the suspect vehicle, while he met with the resident of the vandalized property, who told him she was awoken by her neighbor, who informed her of the malicious damage to her property. Upon checking her front yard, she discovered two angel statues to have been removed from their location and smashed into several pieces near her wishing well display. She said the two angel statues were valued at approximately $100 each. She said she would like to press charges if the juveniles were located. Smith said he also checked the surrounding area for the suspect vehicle but did not observe any other vehicles matching that description. Smith said 3rd Platoon officers planned to keep a check of the area.
